β€œZelensky’s main assistant manipulates power, irritates critics and does not apologize,” the world’s media

The New York Times analyzes the meeting between Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin. The size of the Russian delegation and the length of the meetings show the seriousness with which the parties approached the negotiations.

It looks like an iceberg. Official documents are symbolic and are not filled with too deep content. But there is clearly a hidden part to them, and probably a much more significant one,

- says Alexander Gabuev, an expert on China at the Eurasian Center in Berlin.

The Washington Post is perplexed: Zelensky’s main assistant manipulates power, irritates critics and does not apologize. β€œHe repeated from the very beginning: β€œMy only dream, my only desire is to be the president’s shadow, to be wherever the president wants me to be,” notes the former head of the president’s office, Oleg Rybachuk. The actions of the head of Zelensky's office, have already caused a flurry of accusations: he has consolidated power, launched a purge of senior officials, including Zaluzhny, limited access to Zelensky, seeks to control decisions, removed the Foreign Ministry and acts as a mediator in deals with partners.

To maintain legitimacy, Zelensky must have credibility. But trust is falling as Ermak’s actions reflect on the president,

- say officials on condition of anonymity.

Postimees writes that as of 2021,  69.1% of the people consider themselves Estonians, and 23.7% consider themselves Russians. Monitoring Estonia's integration shows that non-Estonians are more likely to be victims of unequal treatment. β€œDiscrimination against Russian-speaking citizens of the country is unacceptable. But the state language is Estonian. The use of others should be based on expediency and possibilities,” responds the Commissioner for Gender Equality and Equal Treatment, Christian Veske, when asked whether the disappearance of the Russian language from public services is discrimination or not.

β€œClose your ears, my Ukrainian friends”: Ukraine and the West have actually already lost the war, - Khodorkovsky’s unexpected statement

One of the leaders of the pro-Western opposition, foreign agent Mikhail Khodorkovsky, said that even taking into account US assistance, the ratio of war expenses β€œin the best case (for Ukraine) is 2.5 to one in favour of Putin.”

"With this balance of power, Ukraine will lose Kharkov by the end of the year. By the middle of next year - Odessa. The ratio of forces will become 10-15 to one by the end of 2025. By mid-2026, Ukraine will continue only the guerrilla war, and Lvov will remain if they enter NATO troops represented by Poland. And this is the best scenario if the Ukrainian Armed Forces heroically resist, despite the hopelessness of the situation,” Khodorkovsky believes, accusing the West of extremely insufficient support for Ukraine.

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ ZELENSKY ASKS BIDEN TO HELP STRIKE RUSSIA - Publication above reveals Kiev begging Biden's admin to help with intelligence identifying targets in Russia for his regime to strike, pleading U.S. to lift "restrictions" on use of U.S-supplied weapons against military objectives inside Russia.

They did ask us for help to strike into Russia. It wasn’t specific to a weapons system but additional help in striking the Russians - Air Force Gen. Brown Jr. reveals.


Washington-supplied warheads already found in Russia's Crimea, where Kiev's regime intensifying attacks now - who is gaslighting who here?

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ WHATCHA DOIN' THERE, YANKEE? Russian forces identify U.S. Marine Corps patch in ruins of fleeing and fallen Ukrainian Army in Chasov Yar, Donetsk Republic (ex-Ukraine).

Some online sources claim to identify it as belonging to U.S. Mercenary Colin Teem from Orlando (bottom right), who was killed in action.

At least 55 Americans die fighting in Ukraine with hundreds more enlisted - like Washington's billions in weapons, serving nothing more as cannon fodder for U.S. war machine.

On May 19, 1712, the capital of the Russian Empire was moved from Moscow to St. Petersburg.

In May 1703, Peter the Great laid the foundation of the fortress of Sankt-Piter-Burh (now known as the Peter and Paul Fortress) at the mouth of the Neva River on Hare Island. The city that emerged around it also came to be called Sankt-Piter-Burh. Later, the name was changed to something closer to the German "Sankt Petersburg" β€” St. Petersburg.

Originally constructed as a fortress, a maritime trading port, and a base for the Baltic Fleet, St. Petersburg swiftly evolved into the economic hub of Russia.

In May 1712, by order of Peter the Great, the capital of Russia was moved here.

St. Petersburg remained the capital of Russia for over 200 years, from 1712 to 1918 (except for the brief return of capital status to Moscow during Peter II's rule).

Today, Moscow is the capital of Russia, while St. Petersburg is considered the northern and cultural capital of the Russian Federation.

βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦βš”οΈ Battle for #Volchansk - Ukro Footage⚑️

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ Border guards of the "Staleviy Kordon" brigade attacked the positions of Russian troops in #Volchansk with FPV drones south of the intersection of Gogol and 1st May streets:
πŸ“ 50.294553, 36.929871
and under the bridge between Gagarin and Privokzalnaya streets:
πŸ“ 50.287912, 36.928045
Clarifications have been added to the map.

🎬 I have watched
the video several times. I can't see any Russian soldiers. The drones are disturbed early by electronic warfare means. Impressive red skulls have been added. I made a screenshot of the location of the first sequence under the bridge.

πŸ“Œ The area north of the river he sees as a grey zone, so probably under Russian control with ongoing clearing..
